Some News Notes from beyond Chesa-
peake Bay.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dlspstch.l
ONANcoCK, December l6, 1887.
Rev. DR.. j. S. Wharton has resigned
the pastorate OF the Leemont, Beth
ell, and Broadway Baptist churches,
in Accomack, to accept call to Florida,
and will soon remove to his new field OF
labor. He is a brother of Rev. Fl. M.
Wharton, the eloquent Baptist divine
and evangelist of Baltimore.
Mr.. George T. Parker, well-known
merchant at Accomack Courthouse, was
married yesterday near that place to Miss
Emma Phillips.
A rather exciting elopement occurred
Yesterday near Messongo, in the north
western part of Accomack. Frank Lank-
ford, spry and well-to-do widower OF
that vicinity, had been paying his re-
spects to Miss Sally Chase, the pretty
young daughter of Captain Teackle
Chase, who has succeeded in making
snug little fortune in the oys-
ter business. Captain Chase and
his wife were opposed to the
match, but the daughter was willing,
and so while the father was away from
home Yesterday morning looking after
his uy ster-beds, tho willy rido--os, 90
companied by a friend, went TO Captain
Chase's house and succeeded in carrying
Miss Sally off with all her belongings.
The girls mother discovered the party
as they were driving off and raised a
loud cry, but her appeals were unheeded,
and the fugitive lovers came In hot haste
to Onancock, where they took the
steamer yesterday for Baltimore. They
were probably married in Crisfeld, Md,
where the steamer stops on her way
from Onancock to Baltimore, and they
will probably spend their honeymoon in
the Monumental City, and tarry there
till the clouds at home shall have rolled
by.
Never before at this period of the year
have the stores in Onancock presented
such a pretty appearance. The shop
windows are filled with Christmas goods,
and indications point to an unusual sea-
son of festivity and pleasure, especially
among the young folks.
The leading social event of the season,
rs has been already stated, will be
the marriage on the 21st instant of Miss
George Powell and Mr.. Spencer ID.
Hopkins, two of the most prominent and
popular young people in Onancock. The
ceremony will take place at night in the
Southern Methodist church here, and a
grand reception will then be given to the
invited guests at the residence of the
brides mother.
There was a sudden change in the
weather here last night. The wind is
blowing strong from the northwest and
1t is getting steadily colder. KALLIAs.

Wilmington Star: Cleveland is not a
Grant, and by very great deal. He
loves liberty, his country, and honor bet
ter than he does power, party, and pelf.
Raleigh Ne,os and Observer: Mr..
Richard II. Cardwell, recently elected
Speaker of the Virginia House of Dele
gates, and who is regarded as a rising
man in our sister State, is a native of
North Carolina. He seems to be son
of the Old North State of whom we
have every reason to be proud.
Asheville Citizen: Why should tobacco
be taxed more than wheat or cotton
Why should determinations be made
against the pursuer of any agricultural
industry? Why should the orchardist
be denied the privilege of converting his
fruit into brandy if he so chooses? The
cotton industry, a powerful one, sue
cessfully protested against the burdens
put upon it. Why should tobacco, ulti-
mately to enter almost rs largely into
the objects of commerce as cotton, be
less favored?

CIrroy Force, Va, Dec. 16, 1887.
Last night Miss Pinkie Kraft, daugh.
ter of Mr.. J. M. Kraft, OF this place,
was married TO Mr.. William Saunders, oil
Hanover county, Va, by Rev. MIR. Zoe,
of Wilton. The young lady met with
unusual tribulation as to her bridal
trosseau, which was ordered in Rich,
mond. The trunk containing the bridal
filings reached here Monday night, and
the baggage-room being full, the trunk
was stored in the portico outside with
some other baggage. The next morning
the trunk was missing, and was found on
the river-bank broken open and rified oil
its contents. That night another trunk
which had been left outside five minutes,
while the owner went in the ticket-oftice
to purchase a ticket disappeared
in the darkness, and the same
night a room in the McCurdy House
was entered and new suit of clothes
belonging to Mr.. II. c. Davis, Q
travelling salesman for W. ]. Johnston q
Co., of Richmond, was taken out, also an
overcoat belonging to R. L. Giyens, q
clerk at the hotel.
The bride-expectant was prey to such
anguish of spirit as only those who have
been brides, or expect to be, can imagine
if they will put themselves in her place.
The wedding-day was only two days of,
and nothing to wear" Her friends,
stimulated by her tribulation, each one
constituted himself detective, and. led
by Colonel A. G. Bryant, the wide-awake
division agent Of the Mississippi-V Valley
and Newport News Company, secured
the town and surrounding country, and
suspected every one but ministers and
newspaper correspondents. At last
clue was discovered, the search be-
came closer, the trail warmer, and final
ly two negro men-Jack Prince and Joe
Lyas-were traced to their hiding-place
in hollow in the mountain over the
river, surrounded, and captured, though
Joe showed fight and drew his pistol or
the sergeant's posse, but didn't shoot
All the bridal outfit except pair OF
shoes was recovered and restored to the
waiting fair one, and the thieves, In
Guiding another colored accomplice, were
lodged yesterday in the Jail at Coying
ton. The missing wardrobe of the young
gentlemen referred to was also recovered,
and three persons were made happy and
three miserable. "All's we'll that ends
well" Vox.

To the Editor of the Dispatch /:

From your account in yesterdays issue
of the proceedings in Henrico County
Court on an indictment against George
S. Vashon, ST., George s. Vashon, Jr.,
and John II. Siggins, one might con-
clude that Siggins had been convicted OF
an offence for which the Vashons were
responsible. In justice to Mr.. Siggins
we say that the position he fills with us
is that of book-keeper and cashier, which
position he has filed with credit TO
himself and perfect satisfaction to
us. II any blame attaches for
the double tender of the coupons. the
blame should be borne by us and not by
Siggins. We and our clients are the par
ties benefited by the tender, and not Mr..
Siggins. He made the tender as our
CLERK, but made the mistake of tender
ing one or more of the coupons the Sc
cond time, after they had been refused
for previous tenders. Had he been as
familiar with this branch of our business
as the one who usually attends to it the
double tender would not have been made.
Upon his return to our Office after
making the tender the junior member
OF our firm went Immediately to the
treasurer's office and withdrew the ten
der made by Mr.. Siggins and made a
new tender, not using the same coupons
in any two cases. We hold that after
the coupons have been refused the right
does exist to retender them in any
other case. While this is our view Of
ones rights there was no intention on
the part of any one 20 violate the Vir-
ginia statute which forbids it, and as
soon as the double tender was discover
ed-which was within an hour after
making tit was Withdrawn and one
made which the law OF the State recog-
nizes. Mr.. Sjggins is in no way to
blame for this matter. We alone should
be responsible for the unintentional
violation OF what we believed 10 be sn
unconstitutional law. Respectfully,
GEORGE 3. VAsHoN 4 sos.

DANyILLE TOBACCO MARKET.
Death OF a Venerable Lady-A Narrow
Escape-Seut On-ReIigious Notes.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l


Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
DANvILLE, Va, December 17.-Al-
though the receipts of tobacco have been
heavy during the week, the appetites CT
the order-men and big leaf dealers seem
hard to appease, and they have not suf-
fered prices to lag. Prices have kept up
well, and have shown no signs OF weak
ening.
The manufacturing business has been
dull since Monday, the shipments OF the
weed on that day being very good. The
sales of stamps during the week amounted
to s497, 66S.
Mrs. Elizabeth Worsham, one of the
oldest ladies of Danville, mother OF Mr..
w. w. Worsham, and from girlhood a
member of the Methodist Church, died
last night. Mrs. Worsham had reached
the ripe old age of eighty-seven years.
The weather to-day has been very
tickle. Early this morning it hailed and
rained, and later in the day it showed,
but cleared off at night very cold.
Captain w. p. Robinson had a narrow
escape this evening from death. He was
driving along Craghead street with his
two little boys in buggy, when the
wheels of the vehicle got into hole in
the street, throwing the Captain out be.
tween the wheels. He managed in some
way to turn and then fell in the hole.
The horse ran away, both wheels passing
over Captain Robinson's legs. The
horse was stopped before any serious
damage was done.
Hugh Walker, who shot a negro some
weeks ago at Adams & Co.'S factory,
named Williams. was to-day sent on 70
the grand jury on the charge of unlaw.
full shooting. He was bailed for his APP
pearance.
All the evangelical pastors Of the city
will hold meeting tomorrow to ar,
range for a week Of prayer.
Professor j. L. Ayerett, who has been
unwell, is ON the mend.

THE RESULT OF MERIT.

When anything stands test Of nfty years
among discriminating people 1t Is pretty good
evidence that there is merit somewhere. Few,
II any, medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the pro-
gress Of BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after a
trial Of over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most efIectual blood-puriner, tonic,
and Alternative ever introduced TO the public.
That this is the result Of merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all that Is
claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the
fact that those who regard them with the great
est favor are those who have used them tho
longest
BRANDRETHs PILLS arc sold in every drug
and medicine-store, either plain or sugar.
